Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 159
159. Labyrinth Underground Floor 451
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 450!]
[Floor 450 clear time: 11 minutes 42 seconds]
[You have cleared in the shortest time!]
[An Achievement will be unlocked as a record clear reward.]
The Achievement received every 10 floors.
Before regression, it was difficult to receive Achievements because of Joshua’s records, but from floor 450 onwards, it wasn’t.
[Achievement ‘Guardian of the Sanctuary (A)’ has been unlocked.]
[If a new record appears within 10 days, the Achievement will be returned.]
[If no new record holder appears, you will permanently acquire the Achievement effect.]
▶Guardian of the Sanctuary (A)
―Acquisition path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 450
―Effect: Deals 100% additional damage against evil beings.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
Undead, Dullahan, Lich, Death Knight, Skeleton, Zombie, Vampire, Wraith, Banshee, etc.
A good Achievement for facing dark attribute monsters appeared.
An Achievement I had received before regression too.
It was practically the first Achievement I received.
‘Back then, I also led 1v1 and 3v3 to quick victories like now.’
I had been lucky.
Now I smashed through everything with skill though.
[As a floor 450 general clear reward, ‘Essence of Very Strong Physical Strength’ will be provided.]
[276,900 Credits (+63,900) will be provided.]
[Booster applied floors: 5/10 floors]
I didn’t mention it, but the rewards had been enhanced from floor 440.
The modifier changed from ‘strong’ to ‘very strong’ and the reward stats increased from 60 to 90.
[As a floor 450 first clear reward, ‘Random Orb Fragment 2/4’ will be provided.]
‘Now two fragments come out at once.’
I could collect Random Orbs faster now.
Let’s continue the strategy at this pace.
‘Now that the guy who was chattering earlier disappeared, it’s finally quiet.’
We only met once and talked, so what was there to say so much about?
Don’t we part ways like this when the strategy ends anyway?
‘That’s why I didn’t talk. There’s no need to get close to attackers from other worlds.’
But on floor 451, something unexpected happened.
“Oh, we meet again? Nice to see you!”
Because I met another attacker from a different dimension in the Grand Arena again.
“Uhaha! Our team won! Hooray! Kuhaha!”
“Last round you called me a troll?”
“What? When did I?”
Looking at this now, there’s no shame whatsoever.
“If I said such a thing, I’ll apologize. Sorry. Forget about what happened last round.”
The guy who cursed me as a troll had now become a completely different person.
“What about orders? Will you give them again this time?”
“What? Hey, no! I can’t do that! You handle everything yourself. Top lane or bottom lane, I’ll do whatever you tell me to.”
The treatment changed, probably because of the prowess I showed last round.
“By the way, let’s introduce ourselves. It would be good to have names to call each other, right? I’m ■■■■ from ■■■■.”
“I can’t hear it.”
“Ah, as expected, we can’t say names. I tried just in case… Then should we make nicknames to call each other?”
“….”
“Okay. I’m Supreme Leader, and you’re Strongest One.”
He arbitrarily made up nicknames even though I never answered.
“And you standing there silently are Airhead.”
“Huh? Me?”
A new team member who had been standing there blankly answered in surprise.
“Yeah, you. You’ve been making an airheaded expression since earlier.”
“Wh-when did I?”
“Ever since you came in.”
Watching the flustered team member and attacker, I let out a sigh.
“I’ll give you one. Chatterbox suits you.”
“Me? Not Supreme Leader?”
Supreme Leader? How ridiculous.
While I was ignoring him.
[The Grand Arena will begin in 10 seconds.]
[10…]
[9…]
[8…]
We were moved to the battlefield and the match began.
“Where should we go, Strongest One?”
“Chatterbox goes top, Airhead goes bottom, I’ll go jungle.”
“Yes sir!”
Team members who moved without a single complaint at my command.
At least there wasn’t any annoying chatter like the previous match, which was good.
[You have obtained the Essence of Surveillance.]
[All targets’ movements will be observed.]
[Lasts for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.]
[Time remaining: 149 seconds]
[Time remaining: 148 seconds]
…
…
As planned, I broke the stone statue to consume the essence and was about to move.
―Huh? That, that person is….
Airhead’s communication came through.
―Ah, we’re screwed! How are we supposed to beat such a monster!
―Why? What’s wrong?
―There’s ‘Immortal Sword Saint Garensius’ in my lane!
―Garensius? Who’s that?
―A legendary hero! I was matched on the same team as him once in a previous match, and he was ridiculously strong. He swept through the entire enemy team by himself!
Looking at the bottom lane where Airhead had gone with my surveillance eye, there was indeed a man who looked quite strong.
―How did you know his name?
―He said it himself. That he’s a hero who saved the world and is called the Immortal Sword Saint….
I chuckled and replied.
“That’s bullshit.”
―What?
“It’s a fake name. If it were his real name, it would have been filtered out long ago.”
―Ah….
Airhead made an airheaded sound for a moment, then spoke hesitantly.
―But, but his power was real… Aaagh!
[An ally has died.]
[Enemy first kill!]
I saw it clearly with my surveillance eye.
Airhead being cut in half by Garensius and disappearing.
―Ah… I died. I was hugging the tower but couldn’t do anything… Damn it! The opponent is too strong. We’re screwed!
The revived Airhead was making a fuss, but my impression was somewhat different.
“He doesn’t look that strong to me.”
―What?
“Airhead, you go to top and defend with Chatterbox. I’ll break through bottom.”
―No, the opponent is a legendary hero.
Hero or whatever, I’m telling you it’s bullshit.
Even if it were true, he’s no match for me.
As long as I have the Arena Avatar Achievement, there’s no one here who can face me.
Knowing this, Chatterbox said.
―Don’t worry. Our team has someone even stronger.
―No matter what, he can’t be stronger than Garensius. I know well since I was his teammate in the previous match….
[An enemy has died.]
As soon as he finished speaking, I twisted Garensius’s neck.
Unable to even resist telekinesis – that was the reality of this legendary hero.
“Garensius is dead.”
―What? Then that message just now was….
“Now I’ll push the bottom tower.”
[The enemy’s 1st Tower has fallen.]
It was a lightning-fast battle.
―You, you already destroyed it?
“Yeah. The guys who were at top will come to defend. In the meantime, you guys can destroy towers or whatever, just have fun. I’ll end the match.”
Having pushed through bottom, I now headed for the base.
Garensius revived and tried to defend, but it was useless.
“King’s Army.”
Thousands of troops were summoned to the arena battlefield.
The team members who had pushed towers from top and came in must have seen this sight, as they shouted excitedly.
―That, that’s right! This is what I was talking about!
Chatterbox’s voice was trembling as if feeling thrilled.
―In the previous round too, he overwhelmed his opponents like this! This is our Strongest One’s true skill!
Meanwhile, Airhead was completely dazed.
―Wh-what the hell is happening… I can’t tell if this is a dream or reality…
The summoned soldiers charged toward the enemy lines and began overwhelming their opponents.
The enemy team was just as flustered.
“What the hell! Why are these soldiers so strong?”
“Isn’t this cheating? Summoning this many at once?”
“Garensius! Do something!”
Garensius raised his sword and cut down several summons, but it was useless.
Even he was helpless before the endless waves of soldiers that kept coming no matter how many he cut down.
“Damn it! There are too many!”
“Retreat to the base! Let’s defend using the tower!”
But my summons didn’t even care about the tower.
They relentlessly attacked the enemies while taking laser fire, and simultaneously began destroying the tower.
Crash!
[The enemy’s 2nd Tower has fallen.]
“Even the 2nd Tower…!”
“We-we’re screwed!”
“L-let’s run for now!”
The enemy team was pushed back to their respawn point, but even there they couldn’t escape my soldiers’ attacks.
“You crazy bastards! How far are you going to follow us!?”
“Aaahhh!”
A vicious cycle repeated where they died immediately upon respawning, then died again upon respawning.
This wasn’t a game—it was a massacre.
“Surrender! We surrender!”
“Stop it! Please!”
But the concept of surrender didn’t exist in the Arena.
The rule was to continue until a victor was decided.
Meanwhile, I leisurely walked toward the controller.
Let me casually destroy the controller and the Warp Gate too.
《Victory!》
《My MMR 3,520(+45) points》
[74 Win Streak Achieved!]
[Win Streak Bonus (+15) applied.]
[45 Battle Points acquired.]
I was able to claim victory with ease.
“Shall I continue to the next floor?”
Meanwhile, the Attacker who had been called Chatterbox couldn’t calm his excitement even after returning to his own dimension.
‘Thanks to that incredible teammate, this was a complete freebie win!’
For two consecutive matches, he had easily claimed victory by teaming up with that monster-like teammate.
Could such luck happen again?
‘I hope I get on the same team again this time…’
He won his one-on-one duel and waited for matchmaking.
[Starting Grand Arena.]
[Beginning random matchmaking with participants of similar MMR scores.]
[Please wait a moment.]
‘Please, this time too…’
He desperately hoped that Strongest One would be his teammate, but.
[Teammate matching successful.]
[Match opponent found!]
[Moving to battlefield.]
Unfortunately, this time they weren’t on the same team.
‘He’s not here… Strongest One.’
Well, meeting on the same team three times in a row would be difficult.
Even with the same score, the timing and time slots had to align for matchmaking.
For now, he had no choice but to do his best with his new teammates.
“Everyone knows how to play Grand Arena, right? Let’s do our best! Fighting!”
He started with high spirits, but upon entering the battlefield, he couldn’t help but despair.
“Ah…”
Standing on the opposing side was a familiar hooded figure.
It was Strongest One.
Yesterday’s ally had become today’s enemy.
“I lost.”
Even before the match started, he sensed his defeat.
Sure enough.
Thousands of summons were generated from the very beginning.
It seemed like he had no intention of coming out directly anymore.
[An ally has died.]
[An ally has died.]
[Double Kill!]
Less than a minute after starting, two teammates died in succession.
He tried clashing with the forces, but he wasn’t much different himself.
[Your team’s 1st Tower has fallen.]
[Your team’s 2nd Tower has fallen.]
[Your team’s Controller has fallen.]
Soldiers pushing into the base.
It was a hopeless situation.
The skills that had been reassuring when they were on the same side in previous matches now approached as an insurmountable wall.
Boom!
《Defeat》
《My MMR 3,505(―45) points》
It was truly a one-sided defeat.
